Star Trek: Deep Space Nine1993

[Sisko is "inviting" Garak to join him and Odo on a rescue mission to Cardassia]

Garak:
You can't be serious! Commander, if I were allowed on Cardassia, do you really think I'd be living here?

Commander Sisko:
Which brings up an interesting point. There're certain ministers in the Bajoran government who are concerned about your presence on the station; in fact, they want you removed. Right now, I see no alternative but to honor their request, unless of course... I can show them how you might be valuable to us.

Odo:
Rescuing Kira would go a long way toward improving your standing with the Bajoran government.

Garak:
Why should I care what the Bajoran government thinks of me?

Commander Sisko:
I don't know. But it seems to me, if someone were in trouble with the Cardassian Central Command, a Bajoran space station under Federation control might just be the safest place in the galaxy.

Garak:
Commander, this is extortion.

Commander Sisko:
Mmm... Yes, it is.
